"Hm," she glanced at him, "Most people see that as something very much worth counting. I would give you a number of my own, but at this point, I can't be sure either. But, you see, I'm older than pretty much everyone alive at this point, so I have an excuse."
"It seems so, strange, I suppose," Nubes said, shaking his head. "Something about counting the number of lives that I have personally snuffed screams an obsession over death that I do not possess." He paused. "If you disagree, my apologies; that's my personal opinion. "
S'io credesse che mia risposta fosse a persona che mai tornasse al mondo, questa fiamma staria senza piu scosse. Ma per ciò che giammai di questo fondo non tornò vivo alcun, s'i' odo il vero, senza tema d'infamia ti rispondo.
She shrugged, "You do you, it's just odd. And I find it's best not to apologize for holding a different opinion than someone, you'll run into less awkward situations that way."
"I'll keep that in mind," Nubes said. "I never much liked apologies, anyhow - I could never quite do them right."

Nubes smiled. "True - if there were a class, I'd love to take it."

If it wasn't for spotting Lunis, Nubes would've asked about Emily's affection for snacks. However, the panther, who had gotten an arm and most of his head lodged in the slot at the bottom of a machine full of snacks, caught Nubes's attention.
Nubes set a paw against his forehead and sighed. "Lunis, what are you doing."
"Help me out here," came Lunis's muffled voice, claw reaching for a snack just barely out of reach. "I can almost get them."

Emily sighed, "Noobie mistake," she said, kneeling down to see what she could do the help. Last time this happened she had to disassemble the machine to get her fae friend out of a very similar position to this one.
"They're built to prevent you from getting the snack that way you know," she sighed, "If you're really desperate I can see if I have any more coins I can transform or something. You'll have to get out first though."
Lunis waved a paw at Emily. "No!" he snarled, claws narrowly avoiding the edge of one of the packaged snacks. "I just need a little push, that's all."

"Not if I do it right," he said. Trying to shove one arm into the machine while using the other to push back Nubes, who was trying to grab onto the panther's leg, the panther ignored how the machine began to shake. He wanted his snacks.

What did she know? Sure, she'd seen him do some stupid things, but he was Lunis. He was a panther. He was strong, agile, clever. And he could get himself a snack.
Aiming a kick at about where he guessed Nubes's ankle was, Lunis threw up the arm lodged in the machine. Sure enough, his paw gripped onto a few of the snacks, which tumbled down past his arm.
"Take that, Emily!" Lunis said, voice muffled by the machine that he was now having a hard time freeing his arm and most of his head from.
Oop.
Nubes, who'd almost crumpled to the floor, pulled himself back up. "Are you happy now?" the leopard growled. Lunis twisted his head over his stuck arm to see, out of the corner of his eye, the leopard's bloody ankle; Nubes reached a paw down to try to wipe the blood off, but only smeared it in his fur.
Double oop.

Emily sighed, "Stay here, I'll find some bandages, then I'll see what I can do about getting you out."
She vanished around a corner for her few minutes, then reappeared with a first aid kit and a toolbox.
"Had to break into the janitors closet for this stuff," she muttered and gestured for Nubes to sit down, "I was a doctor in the early nineteen nineties," she explained, "and a vet before that," she added.
